i had to take the cams out, wasnt tooooo bad, but it takes a while. That
miata prolly missed a few oil changes. i would avoid it.

Great video! I am thinking about getting a miata. I test drove one with 57k
miles that had a ticking. Im thinking this might be the problem. How long
did it take you to do all 16? is there a lot of engine removal and work for
the entire process? I see you took out the over head cams.

You should charge for people to watch these videos because I feel like I’m
LEARNING SO MUCH!!!

Peter Zoch says:

I get your point. I experienced the same. It is really worth it to buy new
ones rather than doing the job twice 🙁

subtledriver says:

I wish i had the money to buy new ones! Thats the preferred way! Thanks for
the comment!

Peter Zoch says:

Thumbs up! I cleaned mine year ago, now they click again 🙂 I will buy new
lifters this time.

Victor Manuelle says:

That sounds very interesting. Can’t wait to see it in action.

subtledriver says:

its been sitting, waiting for the next upgrades. Need, to take out the
welded diff and install a lsd. then convert to z31 ecu and tune. then get
hy35w turbo and raise the boost to get 350-400 wheel hp.

Victor Manuelle says:

Oh ok… How is the 240z doing?

subtledriver says:

no, they don’t. You can just pop them in any spot and be ok. they tend to
spin around too. wipe patterns are on solid rocker style lifters.

miata dot net slash garage shash hla

subtledriver says:

they should compress with oil because there is a hole on the side that
would relieve pressure. They are stuck because of dirt build up on the
moving parts. they are machined at very tight tolerances.

ewingpistelak says:

Aren’t the “dirty” ones filled of oil, making it almost impossible to
compress by thumb?

Victor Manuelle says:

Do the lifters have a wipe pattern?
